Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues connecting to your Coder workspace via JetBrains Toolbox, follow these steps to enable and capture debug logs:

Enable Debug Logging

1. Open Toolbox
2. Navigate to the Toolbox App Menu (hexagonal menu icon) > Settings > Advanced.
3. In the screen that appears, select DEBUG for the Log level: section.
4. Hit the back button at the top.
5. Retry the same operation

Capture Debug Logs

1. Access logs via Toolbox App Menu > About > Show log files.
2. Locate the log file named jetbrains-toolbox.log and attach it to your support ticket.
3. If you need to capture logs for a specific workspace, you can also generate a ZIP file using the Workspace action menu, available either on the main Workspaces page in Coder view or within the individual workspace view, under the option labeled Collect logs.

[!Workspace] Toolbox does not persist log level configuration between restarts.
